The Rockford Inn - A traditional Exmoor B&B with riverside views and home-cooked meals
Set in the remote Brendon Valley within Exmoor National Park, The Rockford Inn is a 17th-century 3-star B&B overlooking the East Lyn River. The 7 en-suite rooms feature tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and comfortable beds; some offer river views. A log-fired dining area serves traditional English dishes, including homemade steak and ale pie, while the bar offers real ales poured direct from the cask. Guests at The Rockford Inn can fish, hike, or swim in gin-clear river pools, with landmarks like Watersmeet House and Lynton Cliff Railway within 3-4 km. Horse riding and free Wi-Fi are available.
Pros
The riverside location provides access to waterfalls, swimming pools, and well-maintained National Trust footpaths.
Home-cooked meals feature seasonal ingredients, with options for full or half board.
The historic 17th-century building includes open log fires and a rustic ambiance.
Cons
No on-site spa or fitness facilities.
Limited public transport; car access is recommended for exploring Exmoor.
“The inn's riverside location feels special, matched by the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the home-cooked meals; rooms are spotless, with modern touches, and walks start right outside the front door. It's a charming base for exploring, with both history and comfort. I think guests will find it a gem.”
